1 Claim.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a slip-oil bathing suit.

This invention has for an object the construction of a bathing suit which is characterized 5 with the provision of a bathing suit front connected by a crotch portion to a bathing suit rear, and means for detachably holding the 'edges of front and rear.

can be easily and conveniently put on and taken off. It is generally known that when a bathing suit becomes wet it isquite difficult to take it ofl.

Furthermore, a bathing suit constructed as proposed has the advantage that it may open up completely with the inside disposed on one side and the outside disposed on the other side and thus be adapted for clean ng. 1

Furthermore. a bathing suit constructed as proposed has the advantage of cheapness in manufacture.

A still further object of this invention is to adapt the particular invention to bathing suits of various designs.

Theinvention still further proposes the construction of a bathing suit which is simple and durable and which may be manufactured and sold at an exceptionally reasonable cost. i

For further comprehension of the invention and-of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the appended claim in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth. I a

ing suit rear 11 permanently connected together atlthe crotch portion 12. In Fig. 6 adetail of the crotch has been shownin which it will be noticed that itis provided with a crotch insert 13 to reinforce and form the crotch of the proper shape. On diametrically opposite sides, the openings 14 for the legs are located Means are ing this means comprises buttons and button- 'h'oles.

A bathing suit constructed as above specified.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view taken 'on Fig. 6 is a, fragmentary elevational view lookprovided for detachably joining the edges of thefront 10 and the rear 11. As shown in the drawthe shoulder and detachably joinable by buttons 16. The chest straps 1'7 are similarly constructed, that is, they are opened and detachably closed by buttons 18. Along the sides of the trunk portion of the bathing suit a plurality of buttons and buttonholes 19 serve to detachably connect the parts. The'bathing suit is shown provided with a skirt portion 20 covering upthe trunks. This skirt portion is also opened .at the sides,

- clearly shown in Fig. 4 and detachably closed by a hook and eye construction 21.

Particular attention is calledto' the arrangement whereby the straps 15, the chest straps 1 7 and the trunks and skirt portions may be opened so that the bathing suit front and bathing suit rear, may be laid out in a fiat line, .thenrbeing merely connected by the crotch. A suit so constructed may readily be put on in that it may be slipped beneath the crotch and then the shoulder straps first secured together and thereafter the other attaching means for concluding the engagement of the suit upon a person. The

suit is adapted for convenient cleaning in that it' that vertically arranged fasteners at the side and horizontally arranged fasteners at the crotch may 1 also be used in my improved garments.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved toall changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure byUnited States Letters Patent is;-'-

. A bathing suit comprising a flat front body covering portion, a flat rear body covering por-. tion,a crotch portion permanently joining said front and rear portions, a front skirt portion seicured to said front body covering portion, a rear skirt portion secured to said rear body covering portion, means for detachably securing the shoulders and sides of said body portions together,

only of said body covering portions, and means for detachably securing the side edges of the I front and rear skirt portions together in abutting relation.
